News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I went through App Academy in 2013, I'm a Developer for a small startup in SF applying some of the skills learned at the bootcamp. I feel like its pretty good prep for super entry level work. Most of my cohort is still employed as software engineers or has been promoted to director / CTO level positions.
Fair point. My goal was to make something so that static sites that need a simple email or contact form don't need to setup anything serverside.

Re:I have a soul-crushing job and I don't know what to do on Tuesday August 05, 2014 @04:23PM (#8139157)
I found myself in a very similar situation to you. I was working at a job that I didn't really like and knew that learning Rails was something that, on my own, would take many months to get proficient at before getting good enough to get a job. The way I broke out of my slump was to attend App Academy. I used the opportunity to really dive deep into Rails, and javascript, but also to meet a bunch of really great new people in a new place. (I had some previous web dev experience but no Rails and very little javascript and it was still absurdly useful :))

What would the distinction be between content offered on HN vs what investors are looking for?
